[QUOTE="magicmagni, post: 2039405, member: 72652"] So this is the lighting design I came up with which I'm planning to install... As you can see there will be no JD LED in the ZooPro fixture. Just two UVB lamps.. My thinking is that because the enclosure is 3 feet wide ,I would like to have a broader area of UVB coverage front to back. To help brighten up the basking zone more (lots of health benefits to this) I will include a high output LED Spot in one of the dome's to work in conjunction with the 150W Flood. Then the 48W LED Jungle Dawn will blanket the whole enclosure in visible light for good plant growth. [ATTACH type="full"]86770[/ATTACH] I've referenced some good iridescence charts available online from various sources, the ones below are from [URL='https://lamps.licht-im-terrarium.de/irradiancecharts']here[/URL]. Also, Thomas Griffiths has some good charts and updated ones for LuminIZE as well.. [URL='https://tomaskas.co.uk/papers/']here[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" width="434px"]86774[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="414px"]86776[/ATTACH] As you can see the spread of UVB is quite good along the length of these T5 bulbs, but from front to back not so much. So to help I'm running two Arcadia 24W T5 fixtures for more coverage front to back of the enclosure if that makes sense? Since UVB output is more with two units I've downgraded from 12% UVB to 6% UVB so as not to have too much UVB. I rigged this up to a test bench and getting very nice readings with my UV meter (around 3.8 to 4.2 UVI +- at the basking height of around 18" +- as measured by Solarmeter 6.5) But you can't use 6% UVB for a bearded dragon can you??? [URL='https://tomaskas.co.uk/why-the-percentage-value-on-a-uvb-lamp-doesnt-matter-nearly-as-much-as-you-think-it-does/'] Check out this great blog post from Thomas on the subject.. It's a great read..[/URL] [/QUOTE]
